Privacy Policy

carrollbiz.net is committed to protecting the privacy of our site visitors and our listed businesses and organizations. We do not collect personal information from our site visitors. The data displayed about our listed businesses is public information. This policy explains what to expect as a site visitor, what information we collect and store about our listed companies, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are pieces of information that a web site usually transfers to an individual's hard disk to enable faster and more efficient use of the site. The use of cookies is a web standard; you will find them at most major web sites. For example, on www.google.com, or the Carroll County Public Library's site, if you type in a search for vacation packages, your hard drive will remember the words "vacation packages" so that you next search, your computer will recall it. On carrollbiz.net, if you type in a zip code in your search, your hard drive will remember the last zip code you searched, so that the next search you make can recall it.

Collection of Personal Information

Site Visitors
We do not collect personal information from our site visitors.

Listed Companies
We do collect business information from the listed companies, including their business name, address, and phone number for search results display purposes. We also collect business category and products & services information to enhance their search results. We collect company contact information, for use only in case a data error is reported for the company (like an incorrect address), and we need to verify the correction before posting it. We allow listed companies a username and confidential password, for use by them to change their own information in a secure environment. This information is not shared with anyone, and is only accessible to the carrollbiz.net site administration.
Our site uses secured registration forms for listed businesses to post help wanted ads and post information for their web page. We collect contact information (like name and email addresses) and, in the near future, will accept financial information (like credit card number) through these forms. Contact information from these forms is used to send an invoice to our customers, to send information about our products and services, and for our record keeping. This information is not shared with anyone, and is only accessible to the carrollbiz.net site administration.

Security

The importance of security for all personal identification information associated with our listed organizations and customers is of utmost concern to us. We exercise prudence and care in providing the secure transmission of our customers' contact and financial information from their computers to our servers, utilizing encryption software. Only those carrollbiz.net employees and agents who need access to this information in order to do their assigned jobs are allowed access. Any employee or agent who violates our privacy or security policy is subject to disciplinary action, including potential termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution.
